Luxury Ring

1 Reply

A toy should never be seen as a purely female form of sexual entertainment or pleasure, nor should men be afraid to jump into the game. A favorite brand of mine, and probably yours, has introduced round two of their TOR couples rings, the LELO TOR II.  This ring is as the title suggests: absolute luxury.

We’ve done our fair share of ring testing in the past, from basic rubber rings to a stiffer silicone ring. In doing so we’ve found a few features that we value in a good ring.

First and foremost: It must be a ring that doesn’t put you into a panic attack when you slide it on. That means a ring that can be put on and taken off with relative ease. The TOR II looks stiff in form but allows for just enough stretch at the bottom for the toy to slide on. Don’t be brave though – I highly encourage you to line both the toy and penis with lubrication before wearing it. While it does have some stretch, it has significantly less stretch than you might expect or be used to.

Also important in a vibrating ring is a range of vibration. You’re going to want the option of the vibe, but without the overwhelming sensation that comes with a toy stuck on high. This toy does speeds right by having a plus and minus sign on either side of the head of the toy, allowing you to easily adjust while the toy is in use. (If you have larger fingers, these buttons might be more difficult to press and use with ease while in motion.) I enjoyed that the toy had a very low vibration setting so the feeling was not overpowering, but you could easily kick it up to high when the mood struck by holding down the button – or pressing it once or twice.

Lastly, and most importantly, the toy has to be comfortable. The LELO TOR II is made of that silky silicone which I wrote of with great fondness in past posts. It’s hard to use a toy made of anything else, and if you have the option not to… I wouldn’t. This silky feeling makes sliding on the toy and using the toy for a longer period of time much more enjoyable.

As with any new toy it can take some adjustment to learning how to use it best. The instruction manual (this is serious business) that comes with the toy suggests two ways of wearing the ring, this was seriously impressive as most toys do not include this information. As expected it shows that you can wear the ring around the back of the balls or just slid onto the shaft of the penis. (I always prefer around the balls, gets you the full effect!) Aside from keeping the penis erect, making it more sensitive, and providing a longer-lasting session, the vibe… Oh.

Remember that women cannot easily orgasm from penetration alone. This cock ring can provide an excellent aid in the process, with the head of the TOR II stimulating the clit during penetration. Play with your positioning – some may find cowgirl to be more pleasurable, some may find missionary or other positions to be more pleasurable. It’s all about what works best for your bodies once the toy is in use. Find that sweet spot where the toy can work as a clitoral stimulator to get full use of the toy!

To end with the beginning, I have to talk about the packaging. Opening this toy gave me the same excitement of sliding open the box of a new Apple Product. It was breath-takingly well put together and made the experience go far beyond what I expected. Nerdy, perhaps, but true. Outside of the storage box (which is worth keeping) the toy comes with a small black drawstring sack, a sample of moisturizing lubricant, and the charger for the toy. Yes, it’s a rechargable, silky smooth, waterproof cock ring. Made by LELO. Siiiigh. 

From the lelo official website: It is 60 x 42 x 22 mm, 30 grams, and 29mm in diameter. It has a use time of 2 hours, 90 day standby. —  It is also very, very quiet on the lower settings. Presumably much quieter than you will be.

This wonderful toy was provided by LELO for an honest review, and was well received! Thank you!

What are your thoughts/experiences/suggestions when it comes to cock rings? Do you recommend them?

In my last sex toy guide I wrote briefly about the two types of cock rings I have. Truth be told, I rarely use them… but they are fun when the time comes about. They have their place.

The above is a huge rubber cock ring with the “spiked” clitoral stimulator. The clitoral stimulator also has a hole through the center (which you can barely see int he photo) where you can insert a small bullet vibrator that came with it. This toy tends to get in the way because it is so big and it can flop around a bit. Once you get into the rhythm of things it’s not so bad. For a long time I was led to believe that cock rings were male centric toys. Thinking on it more I’ve decided that, really, it’s the women that tend to benefit from these toys. Most women cannot orgasm without clitoral stimulation and it can be difficult (without hand-help) to get that stimulation from sex. A cock ring with a vibrator allows clitoral stimulation with nearly every thrust.

This smaller cock ring is the one that Trojan makes. It is a 1-time use as you cannot replace the vibrator. I’ve had this for a long time though and it still works because the vibrator has an on and off switch. If you are done using it just turn the vibe off and you can use it again and again. It is much more convenient because of its size.

Now, I only have tried the above two which are both vibrating cock rings. There are also very simple rings that rest just at the base of the penis. A good cock ring can hold more blood in the penis keeping it more erect (harder) and potentially delay the time it takes for a man to ejaculate. In that, it might lead to a more intense orgasm. I would recommend if you’re looking to get just a cock ring without vibration that you get one that is stretchy so it fits to the size. Metal cock rings are favored by some but it is important (because the size doesn’t adjust) that you buy exactly what size you need.
